The ATI Radeon HD 6970 uses a new GPU architecture from AMD which features dual graphics engines in one chip with 24 SIMD engines and a total of 1536 stream processors with 96 texture units, providing massively parallel computing power for graphics and other accelerated applications. Its core clock speed of 880MHz, together with a dedicated high speed interface to 2GB of GDDR5 memory running at 1375MHz (5.5Gb/s effective) delivers the highest performance in this series. New Tesselation engines bring up to three times the performance of the previous generation, and new Enhanced Quality AA and filtering modes bring the highest image quality ever achieved.

This special Twin Frozr III Edition utilises the same PCB from the flagship lightning cards and as such has both performance and silent modes. With the amazing Twin Frozr III cooler for near silent operation, cooler running and great overclocking potential. There is no better value 6970 on the market!

Not only is this one of the best prices around for a 6970, this is one of the best designed 6970's available. Then factor in the two free games and you've got some incredible value here.

Those thinking don't buy 7970 will be here soon, well yes it will but the price, well nearly double the price of this card, so new card or not the 6970 at this price is a great buy and stunning value. :)
 
I actually thought this was a half decent deal but judging by the lack of replies in the thread I guess not. Peeps waiting for the new cards perhaps? :confused:

Or wait for prices of 69xx to plummet when 79xx come out :p

79xx shall be far far more expensive, which will have no effect on current 69xx pricing.
78xx not due until feb/march.

69xx stocks running low now, doubt there shall be any major price move, can't guarantee against it but seriously doubt it.
 
tempting but then I have 2x sapphire 6950 toxics already, this would go to make trifire but would require a new psu as I only have a 850w coolermaster real power m850. also with having to spend £80 extra on the asrock extreme7(not going to go into it here, already posted many times about it already. almost at the end of it now just waiting on the replacement from asrock) can't really justify it right now, maybe in the future if I can find any or may just get another 6950 toxic if I can find one.
 
Thought long and hard overnight about buying this but......gotta stick to the plan and wait for the 7***series, not long now and I'm not convinced this card, good as it is, will be a big enough jump from my 470. I so wanted to buy this but common sense says wait. I hate common sense! :)
 
Got the 6950 TFIIIPE

the coolers are fantastic tbh, keeps the GPU pretty cool and seem very quiet compared to my stock 5870, the fan only ever ran at I think 45% on that too lol

Looking at the current price of the 6950's this seems like a fairly decent offer :)
 
I'm not much over the minimum required PSU, is this likely to cause any issues when overclocking it a little?
If i remember correctly my psu is a coolermaster or Thermaletake 550w

And going forwards if i was to Crossfire these would i need 1kw PSU? As this is at the top of my budget for a graphics card i cant see a 7950/7970 being around this price for quite some time. Poor old 8800gtx is getting hammered on bf3 when people let of smoke grenades and im on low settings :(

sigh...considering your guys are going to sell the new gen card soon and already ordered the stocks, I guess your comment pretty much confirms the rumours of 79xx is going to be expensive as hell.

It sadden me to see that company think it is perfectly ok to stack new gen hardware prices on top of the old in this recession, rather than pushing the old gen card prices down and replaceing their price points. I mean can anyone imagine what would have happened if SandyBridge pricing was stacked on top of the 1st gen i5/i7 on the socket 1156? Phenom II was so far behind 1156 i5/i7, but Intel didn't charge like £250-£350 for their 1155 SandyBridge CPUs.

I'm guessing like people say, AMD is getting despite after the epic fail on Bulldozer and going money hungry, and hoping to get as much money as possible from people with more money than sense from the GPU side of their business....

The thing is though that people will still buy them at whatever scary price they come out ...

Exactly...companies will only get the message if people unit together and refuse to be a chump, bend over and take it in the rear. But unfortunately we got people which to them money is no objective buying these overpriced products, and it ruin it for the average Joe who don't want to spend more than £250~£300 on graphic card (which in my opinion is quite expensive already).
